I have 2 muscovy drakes and 2 muscovy ducks, all hatched St. Patty's day so they are about 3 months old and have been living with 4 hens, 5 pullets and 2 roos. As of recently, the drakes are chasing and biting the hens on their feathers and holding on for dear life. What in the world is that about? They pay no attention to the roos or the 4 month old pullets, just the older hens. I planned on keeping only one drake, but why bother with either if they are going to be nasty? Will someone please enlighten me? And I have an order coming next week for ducklings from Holderreads.
At least I have a brooder for them and then a growout pen for those to go in to.
